difficult to do as was the formation of
the diamond trust, at the time that it
was done, which so completely con
trolled the production of diamonds
and doled them out to the makers of
the world in quantities ju3t large
enough not to depress the value.
The economic welfare of nations
now depends upon two things, which
may be resolved into one thing. The
first is: Shall monopolies be per
mitted that can control production and
prices? That is the fundamental one.
That means the overthrow of all tlhe
means of production and distribution
to which the world has been accus
tomed since man began to produce and
distribute. If that is to be allowed,
then the gold trust can control all the
other trusts, all prices and all produc
tion, just as long as gold is continued
as the only money with which inter
national balances can be settled.
The failure of the money power to
stop the coinage of silver and thus
prevent the more equal distribution of
wealth through an increased volume
of money, caused that power to turn
its attention to the destruction of com
petition by the organization of the
trusts. Now the trusts are themselves
threatened by the organization of the
gold trust
These men when they gained their
first victory in 1873 opened a pandora
box. No man can tell what the end
will be. The whole world is thrown
into confusion. Men who do not think,
may Imagine that they are floating
down a peaceful river in a gaily
decked barge cf prosperity. But the
customs of centuries will not be final
ly overthrown without commotion.
The destruction of competition by the
organization of trusts is a complete
revolution.
Many of the leading magazines have
recently come out with articles boldly
advocating the trusts. They all kept
very quiet on that subject until the
trusts were securely, enthroned in
power. None of these writers ever
stop to think that the acceptance of
the trusts as a fixed policy means the
overthrow of the common law as ad
ministered for two centuries, a com
plete change in the course of civiliza
tion. subsUtutlng for free and inde
pendent men auother and altogether
different system, in which the owners
of capital hold within their power
the lives of all the rest of mankind.
There will - be but two classes; the
owners of the trusts and those whom
the trusts employ. As employment will
be necessary to life and the owners
of the trusts are the only employers,
they will hold within their hands the
lives of all the employes. That will
be tyranny such as the world never
saw before.

; CHRIST AND EMPIRE.
In these modern days, any. sort of
cruelty, any amount of murdering, any
sort of inhuman barbarity can be com
mitted if it is only done in the name
of Christianity 'and the "civilized"
nations will look on in silence. It is
perfectly proper for any civilized na
tion to treat an enemy found "with
arms as bandits, to burn whole vil
lages, to deport or confine ' in pesti
lential camps whole families of wom
en and children, to lay waste entire
territories, leaving no living thing or
useful object in existence, if it is done
in the name of Christ. But if such
things are done by Turks or Chinese
boxers then the "civilized" nations
should not only protest, but bring
force to bear to stop it The Turkish
massacres of the Armenians were not
a whit more cruel than the British de
vastations in South Africa and were
much less so ' than the rapine ' and
bloodshed attending the operations of
the foreign troops in China. But they
are operating in the name of Christ
and the burning of cities, outraging
of women, the murder of non-combatants,
is all right and godly if it is
only done in that way, provided al
ways, that there is money or empire
in it.
The most horrid details of the war
of devastation carried on in South
Africa by Lord Kitchener are sup
pressed by the military censor, but
what is told of it makes it exceed the
ravages of Attila. When the Turks
committed crimes far less horrible, all
the churches in the United States were
aflame with indignation. Now they
say not a word, because it is done in
the name of Christ and empire. It is
well known all over Europe that the
South African sky is being reddened
by the flames of burning villages and
farm houses, and every wind that
blows is freighted with the cries of
deported, exiled and homeless men,
women and children.
The nervous shock and mental
strain aboard a modern battle ship
during action is the cause of death to
many men who are never touched
with a flying splinter, a piece of shell,
a bullet or solid shot. The papers
have within the last year reported the
death of six persons who were aboard
the ships during the fights with Spain,
by suicide or from nervous prostration,
among them Anderson, who reported
to Captain Sigsby the blowing up of
the Maine, and Captain Ridgely. The
last poor fellow, a gunner, went
around for weeks saying: "I can't
get , the roar of the guns out of my
ears." War is hell, whether on land
or sea.
Since the election, Judge, the New
York comic paper, which claims that
it elected 'McKinley by Inventing the
"full dinner pail," has come' out in
favor of municipal ownership, election
of United States senators by the peo
ple, government ownership , of the
Nicaragua canal and several other de
mands of the populist platform. The
Independent has often said that the
plutocrats would willingly grant ev
ery demand in the populist platform ,
If by so doing they could control the
volume of money. That is the thing
upon which the concentration of capi
tal rests and the rich will grant all
the reforms that we ask if they can
only control the money.
The brutality of the English officers
in South Africa exceed the worst that
was charged against Weyler, and are
equalled only by what has been writ
ten about the boxers. The Nether
lands Women's League publishes a
letter from Mrs. Dewet in which she
says: "War is not waged here be
tween soldiers. It is murder, pure and
simple murder of women and helpless
children. All over the Free State
women and children are roaming
about without shelter, without cloth
ing, without food and no one can reach
them. Little boys from 9 to 14 are
taken away from their mothers and
sent to Basutoland. The most horri
ble things are being done."
, Some weeks ago W. E. Curtis started
a lie which has already become an ac
cepted truth by the subsidized press
all over the country. They have
adopted the policy of beginning ar
ticles with the words: "When Bryan
made the contract with Croker to turn
over to him the federal patronage,"
etc., just as though the assertion con
tained in the phrase was accepted as
the truth by the whole population.
That phrase has appeared in many
eastern dailies within the last few
weeks. The object is to store ammu
nition against Bryan for future use.
Bryan is still the man they fear more
than all others.
The attention of the readers of The
Independent is called to the splendid
line of advertisements carried in its
columns. It will pay you to read them
and buy where you can get the most
for your money. When writing men
tion the fact that you saw the adver
tisement in The Independent, and you
will get fair treatment. If you do not
receive proper treatment by any ad
vertiser in these columns write ex
plaining the circumstances, and we
will investigate the matter fully.
We wish to suggest to those of our
subscribers who have received bills for
subscription during the past month,
and who have not favored us with a
remittance of the' amount due, that
they do so at this time and save us the
labor and expense of sending a second
bill. Those who for any' reason do
not find it convenient to pay at this
time should write a letter of explana
tion and doubtless - some satisfactory
arrangement "can be made" for the ex
tension of the time desired. Let us
hear from you now," either with a re
mittance or explanation. "Don't wait
for a second bill. ? '
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach, the diseased portion of the ear;
There is pnly one way to cure Deaf
ness, and, that is by constitutional
remedies.' Deafness is caused by an
Inflamed condition, of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian' Tube When
this tube gets Inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the jesult, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing, will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the : mucous sur
faces. .

The president pleads that congress

cans commenced to monkey with it
in 1873.
It is reported that Mark Hanna pays
the coal diggers the 10 per cent rise
in wages, up to April first, then the
trouble will break out afresh. The re
publicans feared the continuance of
the strike would affect the election and
as they had millions , of trust money
on hand they used a few thousand that
way.
Hanna's ship subsidy ?wlll probably
be passed by this congress. All they
can collect for transporting goods is
not enough they must tax the people
millions every year and give it to the
snip owners. When the people get to
living on theii own products, within
themselves, - and. railroad business
drops off, 'the "railroads will want a

Digging the grave will 'cost five dol

Why should any republican object
to making a senator of D. E. Thomp
son? He is one of the most complete
republicans in the state. He never
will fight for the trusts and railroads
in the courts against the state as
Thurston has. ' Every way he is a bet
ter man than Thurston. Of course it
will be Thompson first, then the peo
ple afterwards. Yes, Thompson and
Rosewater will represent the inside of
the republican party as well as any
two men in the state. .
Now what will McKinley do? The
Hawaiians have just elected a con
gress that is strongly in favor of re
turning to their old form of govern
ment A monarchy. It. is quite certain
that a majority of the' natives never
petitioned for annexation to the Unit
ed States. ' The white people .there
first captured the government and then
petitioned for annexation. The major
ity should have been consulted, na
tives as well as whites. If McKinley
has given them a better government,
why should they want to go back?
The darkest cloud hanging over thir.
republic is the millions of money spent
to carry elections. It has got to that
pitch that about one voter in every
three expects money for his vote.
Honor plays no great part in our elec
tions any more. It is the dollar
against manhoqd. There is little use
to try to elect a president unless you
have a hundred millions to draw on.
Hanna 1 knew what he was talking
about when he said he had taken Ne
braska and South Dakota out of, the
doubtful column. He knew how much
money he had left and from exper
ience he knew how much it would
take.. Why should the millionaires,
trusts, corporations and banks con
tribute so liberally ; to election ex
penses if they did not expect to get
their money back from special legis
lation? They don't spend all their
money on the voter, for the congress
man must have a big slice. The courts
too must have a slice for their special
decisions. The New York courts have
already knocked out the law against
trusts. Dred Scott decisions,, income
tax decisions and anti-trust deci
sions are all on the same line.
We fail to see any good that is to
come out of the great football game
that was played Thanksgiving day on
the university campus. It had all the
gambling and drunkenness usually at
tending a horse race or prize fight. We
do not believe that "such lessons are
healthy instructions for our young
men and young women. They do not
tend to civilize , or Christianize. In
stead of elevating they shockingly de-
grade. It appears that state univer
sities are the leading mudholes of this
wild craze. There would be no objec
tions if such games were confined to
the students of our . schools, but to
travel five hundred or a thousand
miles and gather up all the gamblers
and outlaw: toughs is not. elevating or
refining to say the least. A little more
stretch . and Leland-Stanford and Ox
ford will be brought into the circuit.
There is much good sense in oratorio
cal contests. It requires study and
thought to frame and deliver a good
oration. - A cornfield contest would
be ten times more sensible than a ball
contest. Let fifty bushels of corn be
the goal. A surgeon and ambulance
would not be needed in the cornfield.
Mother's kitchen was also her din
ing room, sitting room and parlor; it
was really her other work shop. . All
the rest of the house was sleeping
room. Cook stoves had not come into
use in our boyhood days. A fire in the
old Dutch fireplace did the cooking
and warmings It was supplied with a
crane which would swing round to
one side, on which mother would bang
the pots and kettles for boiling pota-.
toes and other food. Coals" of fire
were drawn out upon the hearth and
meat was fried in a long-handled fry
ing pan. Meat, Johnny cake and rye
and Indian bread were baked in a
bake kettle. This . kettle was about
the size and shape of a forty-pound
cheese. " It had legs four inches long
and a double flanged cover, one flang
fitting the top of the kettle and the
other for holding coals of fire on top.
The meat or dough was put into the
kettle, the cover put on, fire drawn
out upon .the hearth, and the kettle
set over it, then. the cover was filled
with more fire. so. the baking was
done. " ' We would travel a mile any
day for a. slice of rye and Indian bread,
such as mother made. Every Satur
day a large brfCk oven was heated
and bread and pies for a week were
baked. Monday was washing day. We
had no canned fruit, but mother mada
a barrel of sweet apple sauce with
boiled cider every fall. Then in the
spring the same barrel was filled with
maple molasses. District school, sum
mer and-winter,' was our. destiny until
we were ten years old and then after
that we had to work summers. Why.
people are so crazy now-a-days to get
into cities we cannot see. Farm life
is so much more homelike, free and
easy. If any one is sick everybody
knows it for miles around and are
ready to turn in and help.
News of the Week
There has been a good deal more
excitement' around Washington dur
ing the week than generally occurs
immediately preceding the meeting of.
congress. The committees have met
and arranged beforehand the legisla
tion : thatvwill be -railroaded through,
some of it before thejioliday adjourn
ment.. There will,. be appropriations
galore. First, for the army which will
be increased to 100,000 men. -Second,
the Hanna ship subsidy bill. Those
two things seem certain.
There has been . great excitement
over the army bill.' There will be tw6
or three baskets ul - of appointments
connected with it, among, them four
or five major generals, twice as many
brigadier generals and colonels, and
majors, captains and lieutenants too
numerous to mention. The contest for
these life appointments has been ter
riLo, especially for. the higher ones.
Mark Hanna will name them and of
course the service that they have ren
dered him and his puppet in the White
house will be the controlling influence
that will settle the matter. The. kind
of an army that we will have when
the appointments have all been made
will be perfectly satisfactory to plu
tocracy. But the greatest excitement (the As
sociated press had not a word to say
on the subject) wras the discovery that
a trust on gold . was . forming. One
newspaper manv. interviewed a lot of
republican congressmen and ; senators
on the subject:- What they had to
say was so wild and woolly that it is
not worth repeating. It is stated that
Beit, Robinson' and others of the Bar
ney Barnato crowd of South Africans
have joined with Rockefeller and oth
ers of this country to control the gold
mines. The visit of Hammond, who
has so long been connected with the
'Rand - mines, to Colorado is said to
be in connection with that matter. It
staggers the wisest when they under
take to contemplate the results of such
a trust. The principal leaders in this
business are the same men who cor
nered the diamond mines and have
for years regulated the price of dia
monds. The news ' from South Africa has
been of the most astounding sort. Gen
eral Dewet has been fighting almost
every day since the last edition of The
Independent went to press. In one
fijht he captured a fortified town and
took 400 prisoners and two guns. There

Mr. C. M. Scott; -1849 Dor
Chester Avenue, Boston, Mass. , tells
how he became a strong, hearty
am--a a
man :
About two years meo 1 suffered

utterly miserable than I was. I bad no life or energ-y, and was as depressed
mentally as I was worn out physically'. It was not at all unusual for me to
go to sleep over my work. ' My blood was thin and watery, but the worst of
It all was the dreadful, wearying nervousness at night. When I retired at
ten o'clock, instead of going to sleep I would tons and turn till well on Into
the morning, and when I awoke it was without any feeling of being refreshed
or rested. I lost so much flesh that I got down to 122 pounds in weight, and
I had no desire for food.
Last January a friend urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People. I had previously tried many different kinds of remedies and bad
consulted three physicians, but the little relief they gave was very brief, so
I was completely discouraged. My friends, however, insisted and I tried the
medicine. ...
By the time the second box was begun there was such evident Improve
ment that I continued taking them till the ninth box, when I relt that I was
entirely cured. I now weigh 158 pounds. There Is no sign of nervousness, I
rest well and feel strong, and am able to enjoy life once more. Mrs. Scott
was feeling a little run down a few weeks ago, but she immediately began
taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and she is experiencing the
same beneficial results that I did."

were held by the Boers at the begin

Natal and Cape Colony have been re
occupied. These successes have thrown
the London, jingoes into the dumps.
The Boer party has grown to be so
strong and influential that it is out

have come to its ranks. The most as
tonishing of all is the London Statist,
the old, conservative and authoritative
financial organ boldly advocates the
recognition of the Boers. It says:
"We are losing in every way; los
ing in prestige and losing in trade..
"We are seeing our South African
possessions plunged into greater and
greater distress, and the opinion is
gaining ground abroad that we are
incapable of bringing, the. struggle to
a satisfactory termination'. ; ..

Senator Stewart of Nevada, to prove
his complete treason to those who sent
him to the senate, on xast Monday in
troduced a bill providing a supremo
court for the Philippines consisting of
five members with a salary of 20,000
each.
McKinley still keeps up the coinage
of silver dollars. The monthly report
of the director of the mint shows that
he coined during November 3,130,000 of
them, besides $230,120 of subsidiary
silver. In 1896 they told us that the
coinage of silver must stop or the
United States would go to the demni
tion bow-wows. Last month's coin
age was nearly twice as much as was
ever put out under the Sherman act.
